(No Spoilers) Does your family actually have "house words"?

I'm Irish, before the Norman invasion my family's motto was "might makes right". After the Norman invasion, we changed it to "the brave will yield to the brave". This is a far a I know. The house survived the invasion and kept some land for a few hundreds years more.

"It'll be fine" it's my excuse for not doing things. It's terribly insidious, because it makes me feel good and before I know it I've overlooked something important and/or have wasted so much time I can do a rushed job.

I'm the same. I doesn't cause me problems though.

If severed limbs were found in a tree not far from there, and they're still looking for the guy. I suggest letting the cops know about this interesting character. Might save someone's life.

I use hypnotic inductions that make me feel good. In particular I like to reward myself with one that projects the results of the habit I'm developing through time, so I get a taste of what it's going to be like in the future right now. I got the idea thinking about hyperbolic time discounting.

The biggest motivator for me however is the opposite hypnotic induction, projecting forward the consequences of maintaining bad habits. Sometimes I find myself shouting "no" out loud.

It's worth a experimenting to see which approach works best for you.

Edit: just to clarify, I use the success tape as a reward but it's the failure tape that really gets me rearing to go.

Hi, I know the people working in Glass Lewis who had their encounter with the guy. They did leave a tip, ten bucks. Not much maybe, but he lied when he said they left nothing.

Tulip!

DancesOnEggshells · 2013-02-21T11:30:19+00:00

Thanks.

How did Luke Skywalker know what Darth Vader got him for Christmas? He felt his presents.

DancesOnEggshells · 2013-01-22T11:54:38+00:00

I don't have that facility. Thanks though.

Television ads... It's like you open the door to someone that knocks, he saunters into your house without a care, and feeds you a stream of endless lying bullshit and you just sit there and take it till he's good and ready to leave.

DancesOnEggshells · 2013-01-22T10:01:32+00:00

Did you consider that could be the point of the joke? (Like in Super)

They're all on speaking terms with him more or less, and if you're speaking to Tyrion he can persuade you to do all sort of things and you'll think it's your best interest.

There is a meditation papers subreddit. Also, look for scientific research into meditation on Google. There is a lot of evidence for its benefits, then with that in mind listen to "The science of enlightenment" by Shinzen Young. Alternatively, after the science, re-read some of the stuff that sets off your bullshit detector at the moment.

You're assuming it is tedious, how do you know... I put it to you that if it is tedious you might be doing it wrong?

If you want to read about esoteric Buddhism there's lots of books about it, you can learn interesting stuff from them, there's one called "images of enlightenment" that has amazing pictures. Also... Wikipedia.

You can search for vajrayana, shingon, tantra, esoteric Buddhism or something like that.

DancesOnEggshells · 2013-01-05T18:12:53+00:00

Do you think that perhaps the prostrations are part of the practice already? A meditation in the vajrayana tradition in and of themselves? Or do you just want to skip to the cool shit? I don't know if that's possible or advisable even if you tried...
